Tonight is a strange 10-game slate where there is loads of value at both point guard and power forward. We’ll be building today’s lineup around those opportunities, which also gives us a chance to load up the other three positions with the days’ top plays.

Point Guard
Terry Rozier (BOS): $4,300 vs. MIN
We will start with the top value play on the slate. The Timberwolves are in the bottom quadrant of teams at defending the point guard and Rozier now has at least 28 FanDuel points in five consecutive games. That trend seems unlikely to end considering the quality of the matchup and the close nature of the game.
Jarrett Jack (NYK): $4,200 at MIA
Jack doesn’t have the best of matchups tonight, but he has 20+ FanDuel points in 8 of his past 10 games. While there are other quality point guards on the slate, you aren’t going to find value like this at SG, SF or C so it makes sense to take advantage of this chance so that we can buy the quality players on the wing tonight.

Shooting Guard
Tyreke Evans (MEM): $8,400 vs. WAS
You are going to see 30 or more percent of lineups using Devin Booker tonight based on how he has been playing lately, but he gets the Spurs and that is never a wise move in cash games. That is especially true when you have two other strong options. Evans is cruising lately with at least 38 FanDuel points in each of his past seven games and is averaging 45.6 in that time. There are few players who average 5x value over the past three, let alone past seven games. Even more, having a floor of 4.5x in that time is rare, especially for someone so expensive.
Donovan Mitchell (UTA): $7,500 at DEN
Mitchell hasn’t been the most consistent player this year, but he is clearly underpriced at $7,500. He has the top matchup on the slate for any guard tonight and has been playing over 35 minutes per game since mid-December. In that time, he has averaged just south of 5x value, so you can bet he will smash it versus the Nuggets tonight.
Small Forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL): $11,000 vs. TOR
In the Bucks’ last game, Giannis only played 29 minutes (still scoring 56.3 FD Pts), but that shouldn’t be an issue tonight since they welcome the Raptors to Milwaukee in what should be a close-fought high-scoring contest. He is projected for 50+ on every site that I’ve seen today, and we know he has 80 point upside any given night.
Kawhi Leonard (SA): $8,100 vs. PHO
Phoenix gives up a ton of points, and as a result, the Spurs have an implied total of 110 tonight. Leonard is one of the best players in the world and hasn’t seen his price climb back up to $9,500, where it will likely settle into within two weeks. His minutes have been climbing from 20 to 26, 27 and 30 Tuesday night before a day of rest. We can bet on 32+ this evening, and seeing that he went for 49.6 Tuesday, there is a chance he grabs us 6x or even 7x value.
Power Forward
Dwight Powell (DAL): $4,100 vs. CHI
We are back to the value plays, but if you have the money to spend up, you should be considering LaMarcus Aldridge, Kelly Olynyk and/or Derrick Favors. With that said, I’m planning on Powell getting at least 5x value again tonight. The Mavs have an implied total of 108 and Powell has at least 17 FanDuel points in seven straight contests including Wednesday when he piled up 35.6 against the Warriors.
Marvin Williams (CHA): $3,700 at LAL
If you’ve been reading my articles all season, you probably could have guessed this one. I use Williams at this price in many slates, and when they play a defense as lousy as the Lakers, he is an absolute lock. We need just 18.5 from him this evening and he does that more often than not when the Hornets give him 25 minutes which is what we expect for him tonight.
Center
Dwight Howard (CHA): $8,600 at LAL
When I opened up my lineup, I immediately went to center and punched Howard in. Sure, he hasn’t been consistent, but he is having a superb season. Most importantly, he plays the Lakers, and Dwight hates the Lakers. I don’t play the narrative game in other sports, but for basketball, sign me up when a dive like Dwight is playing in a revenge game. The fact that they are the worst unit in the NBA against centers only makes it easier to sign up.
